First time out with supercharger
Went to Memphis Motor Sports park this past Thursday night and run the 1/4 mile for the first time. I have a 1999 FRC 6sp 104,000 miles. Stock guts inside LS-1 engine. Temps were 37 degrees. Track was in great shape. Car has ECS supercharger, BFG DR, headers, corsa exhaust, X-pipe, 4:10 gears, textrilia clutch, RPM tans, 3 rib diff case. Not knowing what air pressure to use or what rpm to launch this was my best time for the evening.
BFG DR 18LB (is their a better tires to run?)
Launch rpm 3000
60' 1.732
330' 4.812
1/8 7.206
MPH 104.61
1000' 9.298
1/4 11.059
MPH 128.32

But it looks like you can get better 1/4 mile times. Your 60 foot time is atrocious, as it looks like you're reeling it in down the track. Better traction will probably get you into the 10's. Good luck.
